And that trailer had 5× as much shyt going on. Maybe marvel is playing it close to the chest but neither BP trailer was all that impressive.
I'm excited to see it. I think people are taking things too far on both sides. No need to be so cynical...we all know that it's just a movie at the end of the day, but in a world where representation is key, black panther is positive representation for blacks world-wide. Black Panther has a lot of live up to and I'm sure it's leading cast and producers are stressed, the movie is coming out in the midst of a solid white-Marvel universe, there are no other leading black heroes... it's going to be the lone movie/franchise where a majority black cast is expected to sweep up hundreds of millions if not over a billion dollars in revenue including the overseas market...that's not going to be easy; black Panther doesn't have that "white man" boost that the other Marvel movies do, there is no RDJ or Chris Evans to put smack dab in the middle of the poster so that Europeans and Asians (specifically the Chinese market) can be persuaded to see it, the hype is necessary because traditionally "black movies" don't do well overseas...if Black Panther can do well outside of the USA and the UK, it's setting precedent. I, myself am trying not to get my expectations set too high but I'm going to support no matter what. No, at the end of the day it's not going to stop discrimination and racial harassment, it's not changing employment prospects or preventing hiring discrimination or housing discrimination. But it does show the youth positive representation....I know a lot here might not care about things like that, but having a black superhero on such a large stage is key part of the development of young black minds to stop seeing whites as the only people capable of being saviors. You can't talk about white supremacy on here and ignore the fact that whites have used media propaganda, such as movies to paint themselves as superior, the hero, the savior and get mad at black people being excited for a black superhero.

If you want more original black content, you should be hoping this movie does numbers. It could be a boon for black creators and their properties.

Why they keep saying this is the first black super hero movie when we had Spawn, Meteor Man, Steel, and Blade before Black Panther?!

Exactly breh but people really don’t think that far. This is a great way to push black actors and filmmakers into foreign markets.
Plus, a black man (Coogler) is gonna make a shyt ton of money off of this
